Discussion: Tulsi Gabbard Takes Secret 'Fact Finding' Trip To Syria

Prepping to join Team Psycho?

It’s totally unacceptable Blue Hawaii sends this favorite pet of Bannon to Congress. Please rectify.

(Removed screed about replacing Inouye with her. Crossed my Senator/Representative wires.)

But still, what the hell, Hawaii?!

This is all he needs. He’s got Bernie to cover his ass on insane trade re-alignments and now he can have a Democratic superstar cover his ass on the New Syria Policy and complete capitulation to Putin on Ukraine as well.

Right, this is not fun and games anymore. She is all he needs to parade around with Bernie and that’s it. There will be enough fake news, and enough soft confused support in the middle to make Trump’s America a reality. This has got to stop. The patient is bleeding out.

I don’t know what to make of Ms. Gabbard. She is extremely bright and just because she disagrees with mainstream Dems doesn’t bother me. It’s the WAY she does and her obstinate digging in that she is the only one that ‘understands’. I also would like to know who instigated this secret ‘fact finding’ mission and did she in fact meet with Assad.

The things she disagrees with Dems on is what should concern you. Just putting a D behind your name to make winning an election easier does not a Democrat make. And Gabbard’s history has given strong indications that they only thing she really stands for is…Tulsi Gabbard.

She is a complete psycho. Even if she believes this stuff as a Democrat she has a responsibility to at least show some respect in public comments.

Last month she openly mocked Secretary of State John Kerry during an appearance on CNN, saying that he thinks, “if we give them [Islamic extremists] $10,000 and give them a nice place to live that somehow they’re not going to be engaged in this fighting.”

She is also the one that told Wolf Blitzer that Bernie should apologize to the Sandy Hook families only after Hillary personally apologizes to the families of the dead in Iraq. Which is completely offensive since George W. Bush is the one that committed this country to war. Only it’s Kerry and Clinton and the Democrats that have to be excoriated in the press for Bush’s war. This sucks, and it’s totally going to be made into fake news heralding the new bi-partisanship in America.

And, was the Obama administration consulted before her trip? We don’t need yet another legislator trying to conduct foreign policy as a maverick and with all of the problems, legal and otherwise, that includes.

Should the fact agree with her facts currently in evidence then yes. Should the fact point out the fucking obvious then no.

I watched a clip of her on CNN recently (originally aired Feb 2015) and was taken aback at how insistent she was that we all label terrorism as “radical Islamic terrorism,” because if we aren’t willing to say those words, then supposedly we won’t understand the dynamics in play or how to defeat ISIS. That argument is, of course, silly. Then at the end of the video clip, she spoke forth this gem:

“And number two, the spiritual promise that they’re selling that somehow this is pleasing to God is absolutely false that you’re not going to heaven, that you’re going to hell if you follow that path and commit these atrocities.”

I mean, seriously? She’s going to go on TV and tell Muslim terrorists they’re going to hell? It was just so…weird.

She is not a superstar. She is an Army vet who got elected on her military credentials and is now conducting secret meetings on our tax money on behalf of either her own agenda or on behalf of Donald Trump and Boris Putin’s Syria agenda. She is not a Democrat, either. The Democrats need to start enforcing who gets to run as a Democrat, for President and any other position.

Honestly, her conduct over the last couple of years has kind of given me pause about her stability.

She remains a hero of the Berniebusters because her grandstanding on the idea that the DNC used its time machine to set a debate schedule* way before Sanders announced in order to somehow thwart him or argle bargle something validates their continued clinging to ideologically, victimologically pleasing counterfactuals.

But, honestly, even then her affect and conduct struck me as rather kooky. And not in a “I’m just using the word ‘kooky’ to insult her” way.

*I mean, I watched that whole spectacle go down and I was like “okay, am I the only person left who remembers the DNC deciding it needed to reign this whole ‘debate schedule’ thing way the fuck in 2009 because of the complaints from 2008 about how debate prep was impinging on their ability to campaign and then had their determination reinforced by the ridiculous spectacle of the 2012 Republican primary. all long before Bernie was even talking about running?”

I am an Hawaiian Democrat. Tulsi Gabbard is an attention whore and a faux liberal. Her entire family is a bunch of right wing, homophobic nutcases, led by her father, Mike Gabbard.

She is also a member of a very strange Hare Krishna cult under the control of a guy named Chris Butler.
